The developer who wants to build a self-storage facility at the site of a long-shuttered Stop & Shop on Madison Ave. said he requested this week’s zoning hearing be delayed another month to incorporate “some changes” into his plan. But those who have been urging Hugh Scott to completely scrap his proposal and replace it with affordable/senior housing may not want to get their hopes up just yet. This is the second delay. His proposal was originally supposed to be brought to the zoning board in February. Scott bought the property a year-and-a-half ago for $4 million. At a public meeting last month at the North End Library organized by council members Michelle Lyons and AmyMarie Vizzo-Paniccia, he sought to convince the audience of around 50 people that he had studied various possibilities and a self-storage facility was the most realistic, and least intrusive and disruptive, use of the old store.
